Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation

to part-take as a key stakeholder and consultee in the preparation of this framework.

(iv) Include new Objective in Chapter 7:

Objective 7.x Cork Harbour Planning Framework Cork City Council is committed to part-take as a key stakeholder and consultee in the preparation of a Cork Harbour Planning Framework Initiative, in coordination with other Local Authorities and stakeholders in the harbour area, as required under RSES Objective 79 and Cork MASP Objective 3 Cork Harbour, during the lifetime of the Plan. Cork City Council supports the preparation of an agreed framework to guide planning policy in managing the future development of the Cork Harbour Economy (CHE) as set out in RPO79 of the RSES to ensure that the sustainable development of the area not only harnesses the economic and social benefits to the City-region but also ensures that biodiversity, flora and fauna both within and outside protected sites are considered via the appropriate SEA and AA mechanisms. This observation is noted. Where there is potential for likely significant effects, appropriate mitigation measures have been provided in order to avoid or minimise these and these measures have been integrated into the Plan. Recommendation: No change.

Content of the Environmental Report Mitigation Measures

Where you have identified the potential for likely significant effects, you should provide appropriate mitigationmeasures to avoid or minimise these. You should ensure that the Plan includes clear commitments to implement the mitigation measures.
